Development of Scintillator‐Based Muon Detectors for Muography

In this chapter, we describe basic features and give some current applications of the most popular detection technology used in muography: scintillator-based muon detectors, widely not only volcanology, where their properties find natural applications, but also geosciences, archeology, non-invasive industrial control, civil engineering, homeland security, nuclear non-proliferation more. As will emphasize following sections, there are many advantages use scintillators, which known to be robust – therefore usable harsh environmental conditions offer real-time analogic measurement capabilities with a good space time resolution. The design such detectors is flexible may different ways depending on target under study, field conditions, modularity etc. Throughout focus one particular detector (also referred as “muon telescope”) originally designed study active volcanic dome Soufrière Guadeloupe show generic technique.
